About Me

I am a regional programme manager with over 7 years of operational experience and technical expertise in the humanitarian and development sectors, including more than 6 years managing refugee support programmes. I have independently led multi-country programme portfolios valued up to €15M, with a focus on skill development, income generation, cash assistance, youth entrepreneurship, and support for MSMEs in emerging markets, working closely with local stakeholders. 

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with more than 30 local partner organisations, providing guidance on durable solutions and fostering effective programme implementation. I have extensive experience in managing donor relations, programme reporting, and compliance, and I bring a proven track record of aligning contract management with localisation strategies. My strong organizational, documentation, and communication skills, along with my ability to manage under tight deadlines, have consistently enabled me to deliver high quality, impactful programmes. I am deeply purpose-driven, with a passion for supporting communities in need through strategic, innovative, and sustainable development interventions.
